Hello, my fellow artists! Welcome to another exciting edition of my weekly blog. As you all know, I have two goals that I am focusing on this year. And each week, I am alternating between the two goals to provide updates that are hopefully inspiring and engaging. This week, we are back to my writing goal for 2024: Finish the 1st draft of the “Third Act” feature film script with Kelly Tighe. Once that’s done, do a table read, get feedback, and complete additional drafts.
But first, a quick writing joke:
It’s a writer’s block! Get it? LOL! Thanks to Pexels for this photo. Now, on to business…here’s another photo that inspired today’s blog entry. This photo was sent to me by Richard Lawson and it’s from an Instagram account by @showrunher. See the picture below and keep reading after the picture 🙂
This past week, Kelly and I shared the latest round of scenes we wrote. We made great progress and wrote wonderful scenes. AND, we are now ready to tackle the last plot point of our feature film script. How exciting is that?!?! How fulfilling is that?!?! Wow! We are nearing the finish line and estimated that it should take us a month to complete the first draft! The above photo captures what I feel (and I’m sure Kelly as well) each time we sit down to write scenes. Each word we write brings us closer to completion. Each word we write brings us greater tangibility of the product we are creating and the reality that we can do this (145 pages, and counting, proves this to us.) Writing this script is something we can control. It’s about creating our own content. This script, these words, will create opportunities and avenues for us and our collective. This script will be sold, produced, and distributed all over the world. And we will be an integral part of this entire process. That is the bigger picture. That is the dream. One word at a time. Keep reading below 🙂
See you all next week!
